What's So Special About Dinosaurs?

Many young readers become obsessed with dinosaurs—but why is that? Perhaps it's because so many of these creatures were impossibly large, or because their long tails, spikes, and plates make them look like beasts purely from mythology! In this set, readers learn just what makes some of the most popular dinos so cool, from the Triceratops to the Diplodocus. Including full-color images of what the dinosaurs were likely to look like, fossils, and facts about size, speed, and defenses, each exciting book engages elementary readers with these reptiles of the past.
